Content Filter restrictions are designed to let you specify which pages you want run through the content filter system, or alternatively, which pages you do NOT wish to be filtered (leaving all remaining pages to run through content filtering.) To select which mode the Restrictions page works in, change the Restrictions option on the Content Filter Settings page.
The Content Filter Restrictions page has two main areas: At the top of the page there is a form for you to enter new restrictions and below this is a list of all existing restrictions for this feature. To enter a restriction you will need to fill the following fields:
Request |
This is the page you want to restrict. Firstly select if you are creating an "Exact Match" or "Regular Expression". Next enter the location of your page. By default the request will be an exact match and should look something like "/batchStats.cfm" or "/batch/dailyStats.cfm" (beginning with a '/' and without parameters.) A good use of Regular Expressions here would be to filter everything within a given folder. For examples of Regular Expressions, please see Regular Expressions and Restrictions. |
Hostname |
By default, FusionReactor will ignore the hostname and simply match based on the web path of a given request, but you can also opt to include it. If you enable Hostname checking then the request field should also include a hostname and look something like "productionMachine/batchStats.cfm". You should NOT include HTTP or HTTPS at the start of this string. With this option you could dynamically change the name of a website based on the URL used to access it. |
Parameters |
By default, FusionReactor will ignore any parameters passed to a page, however, as with the Hostname, you can also opt to include them in your restriction. With parameter checking enabled, the request field should include the necessary parameters. For example "/batchStats.cfm?period=YEAR". Once again, Regular Expressions can be useful here when specifying multiple possible parameter values, or even specifying parameters where the order isn't fixed. |
Once you submit the form the page will be refreshed and your new restriction will be listed at the bottom of the page.
Below the Add Restriction form you will see a list of all existing restrictions. Each restriction has two icons next to it:
Modify Restriction |
Clicking on this icon will take you to the Modify Restriction page. From this page you can change any of the information which is listed above. |
Delete Restriction |
Clicking on this icon will prompt you if you are sure you want to delete this restriction. If you OK the dialog then the restriction will be removed from the Existing Restrictions list and the page will be refreshed. |
